Lemons and Blueberries just shout spring time is here!
Both of these fruits are available local and fresh this time of year. The combination creates sweet vibrant, and delicious flavors. These Lemon & Blueberry Poppy Seed Muffins are a match made in heaven!
I usually make lemon poppy seed or blueberry muffins. Since both are family favorites, I thought why not put them together and give it a try! The timing was just right. Taste testers galore in the house. My daughter is home for spring break with 8 of her friends! We are having such a great time with them here. Having both my kiddos in the nest makes me thrilled, but to have all these extra ones too is so much fun!
A Sweet Way to Start the Day
These Lemon & Blueberry Poppy Seed Muffins are a perfect way to start off the day. Whether on the go for breakfast or to sit down and enjoy with a great cup of tea or coffee.
Today, I got to savor them while the kiddos slept in a little! Needless to say I was glad, it was a late night listening to laughter, ping pong and all the going ons of college kids. Pure Joy!
Did I mention these kids like to eat and have to be fed (I LOVE to FEED people) you know what I mean! The kids gobbled them down. That is always the true test! Notice me smiling a big smile 🙂
Here we go, let’s get to the recipe…
Gather your ingredients and let’s get to zesting and juicing those lemons. (only two large ones ;))
You can lay out your butter to soften or use that soften button on the microwave. Cream butter and sugar in stand mixer for about 2 minutes. Then add in zest and mix.
Next add in eggs one at a time and mix.
In another bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and poppy seeds. Then gradually add into butter mixture by alternating flour mixture, sour cream and milk, until just combined. You don’t want to overmix your batter.
Lastly, fold in your blueberries gently!
Spoon this deliciousness into your muffins pan!
Bake these bad boys at 375° for 20 to 25 minutes!
While they cool, make this simple yet delightful glaze. Powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice is all you need! You can drizzle or just spoon on lots like I did today! See that pool of glaze there! Happiness on a plate 🙂
